Ye Mu watched until Luo Qi finished the food on his plate, his little belly bulging roundly, before he let go.
He reached out to lift Luo Qi, rubbed Luo Qi's little belly, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you for a bath."
Luo Qi nodded contentedly after eating his fill, then proactively wrapped himself around Ye Mu's fingers, letting out a soft yawn.
He had spent the entire day figuring out how to transform into human form, changing many times. Now that he had been reunited with his benefactor brother and had a full stomach, he was starting to feel sleepy from eating.
Ye Mu also noticed Luo Qi's drowsiness and quickened his pace to the bathroom. He took out a smaller basin and filled it with half a basin of water.
The water level was just enough to cover Luo Qi's waist when he sat, reaching up to his chest.
Ye Mu tested the water temperature, placed Luo Qi inside, squeezed two drops of body wash into the water, and then gently poured some water onto Luo Qi's head.
Luo Qi was already extremely sleepy. He was about to fall asleep sitting in the small basin, his eyes blinking rapidly, about to close. As he sat, he began to slide into the water.
Ye Mu helplessly sped up his actions, occasionally having to pull Luo Qi out of the water. Fifteen minutes later, Ye Mu finally finished bathing Luo Qi clean. He wrapped Luo Qi tightly in a small towel and carried him out of the room.
The small nest that had been prepared for the little butterfly was now a bit small. Ye Mu directly used a small blanket to form a circle, carefully placing Luo Qi inside.
As soon as Luo Qi landed in the soft little nest, he turned over and fell asleep. Ye Mu touched his little face and covered him with a small handkerchief as a blanket.
Ye Mu also lay down on the bed, and with a glance upwards, he could see Luo Qi lying in the small blanket.
Lying beside Luo Qi, his nose always seemed to catch a faint floral scent.
Ye Mu slept very well that night. Ever since the little butterfly had been by his side, he had been sleeping better than before. He even had a dream that night.
In his dream, he seemed to be kissing someone. Misty white fog surrounded him, and he couldn't see the other person's face, but he could feel the soft touch on his lips.
His heart pounded rapidly. He knew it was a dream, but he was so immersed that he didn't want to wake up.
This seemed to be a room, with dim, yellowish light casting onto the floor, reflecting entwined, passionate figures.
Ye Mu applied force with his hands, pushing the person onto the bed. He forcefully felt their body temperature and heartbeat, sweating profusely from the heat but still unwilling to stop.
As his consciousness gradually cleared, Ye Mu began to hear some sounds. A clear, youthful voice was mixed with a hint of languor and impatience. Ye Mu's throat bobbed, and he carefully looked at the person lying on the bed.
When he saw the person's face clearly, Ye Mu's eyes widened in shock. Although he had grown a lot, Ye Mu could tell at a glance that this person was actually Luo Qi!
So, he had such impure thoughts about the little butterfly spirit he had raised himself (?)!
Ye Mu was startled awake by his own terrifying conjecture. It was still half an hour before his usual wake-up time, and Luo Qi was still asleep in his little nest.
The little guy's sleeping posture wasn't very good; he was sprawled out, with one little leg resting on the edge of the nest formed by the blanket.
Ye Mu rubbed his temples and rolled out of bed to go to the bathroom.
The sound of water in the bathroom lasted for a long time. Luo Qi rubbed his eyes and sat up, seeing Ye Mu push open the bathroom door and walk out.
Ye Mu was only wearing a bath towel around his waist. His abdominal muscles were well-defined, with smooth and beautiful lines. His hair was still wet, falling messily over his forehead, revealing his sharp and distinct features.
Luo Qi swallowed and thought, "Benefactor brother is so handsome!"
He flapped his wings and flew towards Ye Mu, burying his head in Ye Mu's chest, where he was caught by Ye Mu's outstretched hand.
Ye Mu's expression was a little unnatural, but he still smiled and said, "Why are you awake so early? Are you hungry?"
Luo Qi's face was buried in the firm chest muscles, and his face was red as he shook his head. "Not yet."
He tilted his head up to look at Ye Mu, slurped back some drool that had reached his lips, and said, "Benefactor brother is so handsome! Luo Luo likes it so much!!"
Ye Mu had been praised many times, both openly and indirectly, but this was the first time he had been praised so directly for being handsome.
He also felt a little hot in the face, thinking he should go back to the bathroom right away.
But it was almost time for him to go to work, so returning to the bathroom was impossible. Ye Mu had no choice but to take a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
He held Luo Qi in his palm and walked towards the kitchen. He prepared breakfast first, then meticulously cut the portion for Luo Qi into small pieces and placed it in front of him before getting up to change.
Luo Qi was immediately distracted and ate with delight.
Ye Mu changed into his suit and walked out. Luo Qi had just finished breakfast. Ye Mu ate his portion in a few bites and asked with a smile,
"I'm going to work today. Do you want to come with me, Luo Luo, or stay at home?"
Luo Qi thought for a moment and said, "I want to follow Benefactor brother!"
Although Ye Mu asked, he roughly knew Luo Qi's choice. Moreover, even if Luo Qi wanted to stay at home, he wouldn't be at ease.
He nodded, made a simple little outfit for Luo Qi with a small handkerchief, and carried him out the door.
Ye Mu placed Luo Qi in his suit pocket. Although he thought Luo Qi was the cutest in the world, the appearance of such a small spirit was still unexplainable by science. If discovered by others, it would likely cause a sensation.
The suit pocket was very large, enough for Luo Qi to do a somersault inside. He quietly poked his head out to look outside. Seeing that Ye Mu had already gotten out of the car and entered the company, he quickly retracted it.
Along the way, Luo Qi heard many greetings. Ye Mu only responded faintly, making it seem like his benefactor brother was a very capable person!
Luo Qi kicked his legs in the pocket, but the sounds from outside suddenly disappeared.
Ye Mu was young and handsome, and not a boss who mistreated his subordinates. The company employees liked him very much and would proactively greet him when they saw him.
But today, some sharp-eyed employees noticed that something small seemed to be moving in the big boss's pocket.
What could be in such a small pocket? Could it be a little mouse or a little rabbit?
The thought of the handsome and aloof big boss carrying a small pet to work in his pocket gave the employees a sense of disillusionment.
Ye Mu reached out and covered his pocket, then coughed lightly and said, "I'm leaving now." He then took Luo Qi and left.
From a distance, they could still hear someone muttering behind them, "What is the big boss carrying in his pocket?"
Ye Mu smiled slightly and thought to himself, "My future wife."
He reached into his pocket and stroked Luo Qi's face. He would wait for this little spirit to grow up.
